The Design Process

The site was in the ownership of Cambridge City Council, although lies within South Cambridgeshire District. The City Council supported a nascent cohousing group to prepare a design brief which became the basis for a competition seeking a development partner. TOWN and Trivselhus, with Mole Architects, were appointed in July 2015 and worked with the cohousing group to undertake detailed design, fund and deliver the development. Full planning was submitted in December 2015, being granted the following October. Construction commenced in May 2017 and finished in January 2018.
